Rip Rap (TxDOT) - 3” to 5”
Rip Rap in the 3" to 5" size range, specified to TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) standards, is a durable, angular stone product engineered for heavy-duty erosion control and slope stabilization. Produced by quarrying and mechanically breaking down larger rocks, this material is carefully graded to ensure consistent sizing and compliance with strict state requirements.
The 3" to 5" size offers an optimal balance between weight and coverage, making it effective at dissipating water energy and preventing soil displacement without being too cumbersome to handle. The TxDOT specification ensures high quality and reliability, making this rip rap ideal for highway embankments, drainage channels, culvert protection, and shoreline reinforcement. It is also used in residential settings for retaining walls, garden borders, and decorative features where robust erosion control is needed. While its angular shape locks pieces together for stability, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.Applications & Uses
